Case File 4 [Voice/Action] Pops is up to something....
[Inspector Zenigata hates Mondays. He hates Mondays after a weekend he can't freakin' remember even more. After all this time here, though, he's learned to just accept that something weird probably happened to him last weekend. It's a pretty crappy thing to accept, sure, but what choice does he have since those Malnosso punks won't show up and let him arrest them. Add to that the weirdness of that Were-Yeti incident...and you've got a cop who REALLY needs a distraction.
Regardless of the funkiness of the last few weeks, he wakes up and gets a move on. The man's got plans for today. Starting with a trip down to the shops, where he's picking up nails and a hammer, as well as various lengths of wood gathered from around town. He's got a project in mind, for the benefit of his sanity and the residents of Community House 5. The pickup process takes a few hours, so feel free to stop him or give him funny looks as he wanders between Community House 5 and the shops, whistling while he works.
After gathering supplies, the sounds of sawing, hammering, and generalized construction can be heard in the woods behind Community House #5. Zenigata is making quite a racket. After a while, he appears via the journal, saluting like any civic minded individual doing the community a service.]
Hey, anyone out there like to give me a hand? I'm tryin' to put together a little work-shack out back. Figured it would be a good way to keep a certain someone from blowing up apartments again. If you don't wanna help, thats fine. Just figured I'd give everyone some warning. Also...if there's anyone around who'd be willing to bring me some extra nails and maybe some water, that'd be great. Rather not stop workin' once I get started...

[Action]
Yea, I do. My uncle was a carpenter, taught me a lot about it before he died. My dad always wanted me to follow him into that business, and stay outta the law, but...well, you know.
[Action]
Pops. You're being domestic.
Stop
[Action]
This is pretty good, Lupin. Shouldn't be too hard to work out.
[Action]
...
Who are you, and what have you done with Zenigata Koichi?
[Action]
Uh...nothin? My uncle used to be a carpenter. It keeps me focused sometimes. I like working on stuff like this. And with all the shit that's been goin' down? I'm STILL not sure I'm not a freaking yeti. And forgettin' last weekend?
[Action]
[shrug.] If I wanted normal, I'd have stayed in Japan after graduation and become a translator or something. This place...[he sighs.] This place just isn't...you know.
[Action]
No, it isn't normal at all here. But sometimes normal is nice instead of completely screwed up. There is a reason I became a cop instead of a carpenter, ya know? I just sometimes find this sorta stuff relaxing. Its normal, sure, but sometimes ya gotta do something like this so you don't and do something that gets somebody hurt.
[Action]
...you do what's right for you, Pops. I can't be content with this.
[Action]
[Action] 1/2
[Action] 2/2
I dunno if you want me to thank you or not.
[Action]
[Zenigata shoves a pencil and measuring tape at Lupin]
[Action]
I tell ya, Pops. This is weird.
[Even saying that, he's already setting his supplies down and getting started anyway.]
[Action]
[And work together to ESCAPE? That...doesn't happen often.]
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[Lupin shoves the pencil and paper back at Pops, and takes off without warning.]
[Action]
Ok. Sure.
[Action]
The bag gets dropped into the dirt, and the stereo gets set beside it. Within moments cheesy 80s rock is blaring from it.
See the thief? See that shit eating grin?]
[Action]
Lupin, you don't have the hair for this kinda music. Its gotta be about 4 feet longer, and dirty.
[Action]
[Action]
The music or the food? The music...ehh, its ok I guess. The food...I like this Mexican stuff.
[Action]
Both, Pops. [Because he likes things to be trashy every once in a while.]
[Action]
Sure. I guess I was a bit old for this kinda music. Definitely like Jazz more, though the Beatles sure were something back in the day.
